Take an Online Course - Free with Lynda

Learning with Lynda

Lynda.com is an online educational site that includes over 3,000 courses (and over 130,000 videos) in popular fields like web design, web development, IT, education/instruction, media production, and business. Normally, using lynda.com requires a paid subscription, but Buncombe County Public Library cardholders can access lynda.com content FREE with their library card number by following these instructions.

How to access lynda.com content with your library card:

Use the lynda.com button to go to the Buncombe County Library lynda.com login page. (Do not go directly to the Lynda.com homepage). If you are using a mobile device (like a smartphone or tablet), use your device’s browser, not the lynda.com app.

At the login page, enter your library card number and PIN.

Once you are logged into lynda.com, the next step is to create a personalized account by entering your name and e-mail address. This account can help manage your course history, playlists, bookmarks, and Certificates of Completion.

Be sure to write down your password. If you forget your password, you’ll have to contact lynda.com directly by phone: 1 (888) 335-9632.
